New PSO strategies tackle premature convergence with informed diversity

A new research paper explores methods to prevent premature convergence in Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The study introduces problem-informed diversity-enhancing strategies that modify the swarm's social and cognitive aspects, such as opposing-best and negative learning. These informed strategies are compared against uninformed randomization techniques. The findings indicate that the integration of diversity enhancement within the swarm's dynamics is more critical than the mere presence of external guidance, with velocity-level perturbations proving more effective than position-level ones.

    Anarchy in the swarm: Testing informed and uninformed diversity-enhancing mechanisms within PSO framework

    Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) frequently suffers from premature convergence. This paper introduces a family of problem-informed diversity-enhancing strategies that manipulate the swarm's social and cognitive components. These include opposing-best strategies that repel partic…
